Key Features
• Workflow for Sending Data: Efficiently send data between addressable scenes and addressable prefabs.
• Data Connection Implementation: Connect user interface components at both edit and runtime.
• Scene and Screen Handlers: Load and unload addressable scenes and prefabs seamlessly.
• Testing and Automation Interface: Test and automate using data connections.

Basic UI Behaviors
Each UI behavior includes a component called a widget, such as Button Widget. The Button Widget handles the heavy lifting by implementing inputs and outputs that connect to UI behavior methods. You can set a text label or receive a click. Messages are sent as objects with GUIDs, decoded by the destination object, and parsed for methodology and data.

System Workflow
1. Add Components: Add a panel, a panel widget, a button, and a button widget.
2. Assign GUIDs: Assign unique GUIDs to the widgets.
3. Event Handling: Add a ToWidget component to the button widget to send events to specific widgets by GUID. For example, the button widget can toggle the active state of the panel
